Super Pretty & Adjustable Dog Collar by PetTastic

*Super Pretty & Adjustable Dog Collar by PetTastic

I don't know about your furbabies but mine are kinda ruff...I mean rough...on their collars.  I usually end up getting mine a new one every year and I'm always on the lookout for new designs and colors.  For my silver Pitbull, Karley, I always look for something with pink because it looks so cute with her silver fur.  For our Chocolate Lab, Kramer, I usually look for something more along the lines of Camo!

I was so excited that PetTastic offered to send me this adorable Pink collar for Karley!  You can find it on Amazon and it is by far my favorite collar that I have ever had for Karley.  The various shades of Pink, Silver and hints of blue look so beautiful next to her silver fur.  I also like that this collar is a little wider than any of the other collars that I have ever purchased for her.  It's like this collar was just meant for my sweet nugget!

I purchased a size Large for Karley since she's a Pitbull and she has a wider neck.  The Large size fits a neck of length 18"-26", size Medium will fit neck length 14.5"-20" and the size small will fit a neck length 12"-16".  The collars are made with neoprene lining and a printed polyester webbing layer.  It also has eco-friendly plastic buckles, chrome coated metal leash ring and specialized tag loop.

Hopefully you can tell by the pictures how well made this collar is and how cute it looks on my furbaby!  I highly recommend this collar!  I especially love that it's only $12.95 and I will definitely re-purchase!

Head over to Amazon and get a cute new collar for your furbaby!!

200 Lumens CREE LED Headlamp by Best

*200 Lumens CREE LED Headlamp by Best

So, I realize that a headlamp might be an odd thing for me to be talking about on my blog. However, not only am I into beauty and skincare but if you follow my Instagram page then you also know that I am also a huge outdoor enthusiast. So really a headlamp is right up my alley!

I love camping and hiking so a headlamp is a necessity as far as I'm concerned. My favorite way to use a headlamp for camping is when you have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. It's perfect because it enables you to be hands free and it gives off just the right amount of light. For hiking it's great to have for those extra long hikes that may run into the evening and it's great to have for safety reasons.

This is great quality headlamp and a great deal at only $8.99!  It offers five different light modes which include CREE Light, High- Low-Strobe, Red Light for constant mode and a flashing SOS mode.  It's also very lightweight, comfortable to wear and it's IPX4 water resistant!

In the market for a headlamp?  You can find this over on www.dealsplus.com and also over on Amazon.com...

Mask Collection by Neutrogena®

*Mask Collection by Neutrogena® 

If you've followed my blog for any length of time then you already know that I'm a bit obsessed with Masks.  Masks of all kinds...clay, sheet, foam..you name it, I've probably tried it and liked it!  I think Masks are the best way to see a noticeable improvement in your skin in a short amount of time.

One brand of masks that I've been using for years is Neutrogena and I'm pretty sure I've used every one they have ever made and I've loved them all.

Recently, Neutrogena has jumped on the Sheet Mask wagon and developed their own line of amazing Hydrogel sheet masks that include a Hydro Boost Hydrating Mask, Radiance Boost Brightening Mask and a Deep Clean® Purifying Mask.  The masks are made from seaweed extract and other potent skin loving ingredients and they contain a bottle's worth of serum in each mask!  That translates to some serious and intense hydration and amazingly soft and supple skin.
These Hydrogel sheet masks are the prefect way to sit back, relax and take some much needed "me" time.  They are especially great after a day on the water or after a weekend of camping for a quick way to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin after some fun in the sun!
Neutrogena also came out with a couple other mask options with their new Single-Use Mask Shots.  The super convenient Mask Shots include the Hydro Boost Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask which is a lovely gel cream that delivers deep and intense moisture to dry and dehydrated skin.  Then the Deep Clean® Purifying Wash-Off Clay Mask helps draw out dirt, oil and other impurities from deep within pores and leaves skin feeling extra clean but also soft and hydrated.
When I think of Neutrogena I think of fresh, healthy and radiant looking skin and these new masks help you achieve just that after just one use!

Titanium 0.25mm Microneedle Derma Roller & Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Endim

*Titanium 0.25mm Microneedle Derma Roller & Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Endim

I am a firm believer in Microneedling and it's definitely part of my skincare routine.  I like to try and do Microneedling every few weeks or so or at least once a month.  If you do it right and follow up with the right products you could literally see results overnight.

If you're new to Microneedling this Titanium 0.25mm Microneedle Derma Roller by Endim is a great one to start with.  It's gentle but effective.  The tiny little microneedles penetrate the skin and help promote the production of collagen which means it can help with scaring, pigementation, fine lines and wrinkles and more.

To help maximize your results you should always follow up with a nice quality serum like the one included with this Derma Roller.  Hyaluronic Acid Serum will help boost the moisture in your skin, promote healing and reduce inflammation so it's a great serum to use immediately after Microneedling.  However, I also highly recommend you follow the Hyaluronic Acid Serum with a good quality facial oil like Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate or Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil.
I promise one you start Microneedling  and see the results for yourself you will never want to stop!

You can find the Titanium 0.25mm Microneedle Derma Roller & Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Endim over on Amazon.com...

Summer Skincare Must Haves as seen on "Afternoon Live" KATU

Summer Skincare Must Haves

I am so excited to be making another appearance on the "Afternoon Live" show on Friday June, 22, 2018 and I will be sharing my Summer Skincare Must Haves so join me on "Afternoon Live" on KATU Portland, Oregon!

We all know that sun damage is a leading cause of premature aging so incorporating sun protection into your daily skincare routine is essential and adding a few extra steps during the summer is imperative. Thankfully, SPF has come a long way and there are some really great beauty & skincare products on the market that go beyond just foundation with SPF and help take sun protection to the next level and these are some of my favorites...

Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research

This Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research is definitely not your everyday sticky, greasy sunscreen.  This sunscreen is more reminiscent of a nice face cream than a sunscreen.  

  It provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, it's hydrating but incredibly lightweight, absorbs quickly and it even helps control oil.  It also wears nicely under makeup, is water resistant up to 80 minutes and contains antioxidants to help fight the effects of free radicals and slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  It's by far my favorite sunscreen for the face and I highly recommend it!  It's amazing :)

Ideal for all skin types this Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research retails for $51.00 for 2 oz. and you can find it at dermstore.com.

 Perfect Color Blush SPF 21 by Illuminare

More and more makeup companies are offering SPF options and this Perfect Color Blush SPF 21 by Illuminare is a great choice for a blush.  It's oil free, cream based and formulated with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to block UV rays and with antioxidants to combat environmental pollutants.  There are four color options to choose from... Amalfi Alabaster, Portofino Porcelain, Florentine Fair and Sienna Sun.  The colors are very blendable and buildable so you can customize how intense you want the color to be and you can even mix colors together and create your own personalized color!  My color choice is the Florentine Fair and I only need a little dot on each cheek for a nice, full wash of color that lasts all day long!

  Ideal for all skin types this Perfect Color Blush SPF 21 by Illuminare retails for $18.00 for 0.25 oz and you can find it at dermstore.com.

Mineral Liplux® SPF 30 Organic Tinted Lip Balm

When it comes to Lip Balms with SPF there are actually quite a few out there but the trendy and innovative brand, Coola, offers the best selection.  Their Mineral Liplux® SPF 30 Organic Tinted Lip Balm is made with more than 70% natural ingredients and contains Organic Cupuacu Butter and Mongongo Oil.  Thanks to the Cupuacu Butter and Mongongo Oil these Lip Balms are creamy, deeply hydrating.  With six different color options these tinted lip balms add a subtle hint of color while providing lips with the nourishment and protection they need.  My favorite color is Summer Crush which looks like my natural lip color...only better!

The Mineral Liplux® SPF 30 Organic Tinted Lip Balm retails for $18.00 for 0.15 oz. and can be found at Coola.com, dermstore.com, Ulta Beauty and more! 

Mineral SPF 30 Brush-On Sun Defense by Mineral Fusion

For quick and easy SPF this transparent Mineral SPF 30 Brush-On Sun Defense by Mineral Fusion is just what you need.  This is the perfect sunscreen to keep in your handbag for on-the-go application.  It works well on all skin tones and types and it blends seamlessly into skin and over makeup.  For best results, reapply every two hours.  

The Mineral SPF 30 Brush-On Sun Defense by Mineral Fusion retails for $24.99 for 0.14 oz. and can be found at mineralfusion.com, dermstore.com and can even be found at Whole Foods!

Defense Refresh Setting Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 50 by Supergoop

This is probably my overall favorite sunscreen product!  This is so much more than sunscreen.  It's actually a three-in-one weightless mist that sets makeup, helps control oil and shine and provides SPF 50!  The unique formula is water and sweat resistant, leaves skin feeling soft and smooth and will keep makeup in place even in high humidity.  For best results and to keep makeup looking fresh reapply throughout the day.  

Suitable for all skin types this Defense Refresh Setting Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 50 by Supergoop is a vacation must have and retails for $28.00 for 3.4 oz.  It can be found on supergoop.com, sephora.com and more!

Hopefully you will be inspired to try out at least one or maybe all of these Summer Skincare Must Haves!  If you do I would love to hear about it!  Just leave a comment down below...

Have a great Summer!

Windshield Sun Shade by Big Hippo

*Windshield Sun Shade by Big Hippo

So I’m trying to protect the interior of my new car & I’ve heard these Sun Shades really help. Does anyone else use these? Do they work?  I’ve definitely noticed that my car stays cooler when I use it so that's a bonus!  So far, so good!

This Windshield Sun Shade by Big Hippo is 55.16"X 27.5" which fits my Jeep perfectly.  It also comes with 2 side mesh folding shades as well.  It's made of a thick silver coated material that is supposed to protect your vehicle from 99% of harmful UV rays so I'm hoping it will keep the interior of my car looking like new for years to come!

You can find this Windshield Sun Shade by Big Hippo over on Amazon for only $14.99!

Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs + Get 50% OFF with coupon code 97707CAN

*Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs

I have always been intrigued by Smudging and I just recently purchased some Sage Wands and starting learning more about the art of Smudging.  The main goal of smudging is to clear a space of lingering energy, specifically negative energy.  There is also a sort of ceremony that goes along with Smudging, or at least there should be.  I am a total novice when it comes to Smudging but I think you should definitely have a clear vision of what your intentions are for the space you want to clear or for yourself if you are clearing your personal self of stagnant or negative energy.  There are many Smudging Prayers you can use or you can simply think and say positive thoughts and affirmations as you Smudge.

Smudging is almost like meditation to me.  I don't do it as often as I would like but I always feel so much better afterward so I have been trying to make it a priority.  I also happen to love the smell of Sage and luckily it grows rather abundantly where I live.  

I know some people are very sensitive to Sage and to smoke in general so the traditional way of Smudging may not be a viable option for them.  That's where Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs comes in!  It's the perfect smokeless alternative to Smudging with Sage.

This is just not any ordinary Sage Smudging Spray.  It's formulated with Organic White Sage Essential Oil, Lunar Energy, Clear Quartz Crystal Energy and Reiki Energy.  In other words, this is a serious Smudging spray.

The Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs is perfect for using at work!  Since Smudging with actual Sage isn't a likely option in most work environments having a Smudging Spray is the perfect substitute!  Just make sure you don't go around spraying it like an air freshener, put your positive intentions and thoughts into it as you spray.  It's amazing what clearing a little negative energy will do for a work space.  I highly recommend it!

The Sage Plus Clearing Spray by Moonwater Elixirs retails for $19.99 for 8 oz. and can be purchased over at moonwaterelixirs.com.  Make sure to use the code 97707CAN for 50% OFF!  Happy Smudging!!
